Turns out phone camera and adjusting the brightness seemed to work ok

I would use a welding mask, but they are hard to find in an office

Its clearing up here in weston.

I can see the sun partially, the haze is burning away.

 

[Kenai]

Nice thick blanket of cloud as expected, I'll make sure to thoroughly enjoy the dim light around half 9

It's a clear sunny morning here in Nottingham I'm heading off out soon to try and get a good view of it. Feel sorry for those with cloud cover that want to see it
